In the drawing :-Figure 1 shows the invation; Fignflis a plan of one of the rear sections; Fig. 4 is a plan of one of the front sections; Fig. 5 is a plan of the leg insert; Fig. 6 is a plan of the foot insert; and Fig. 7 IS: a fragmental perspective showing a slight modification in the invention.

- In carrying out the invention there is provided'a pair of front sections 1, one of which isshown in outline in Fig. 4. Each frontsection 1 is provided with a concaved. lateral edge 2 and with a convened, oppositely disposed lateral edge 3. Adjacent its upper edge, the front section 1 is slit as shown at 7, formed at tiny angle desired. 'Ilhe front section 1 terminates at its lower end in an extension 8, 'at' the upper end of which a transverse edge 9 is forrned. One longitudinal, lateral edge of thesection"1 is denoted by the numeral '10, the edge "10 having a notch 11 therein.
